An update from us

Recently, the Government has announced plans to close Healthwatch England and Local Healthwatch as part of a wider effort to streamline patient safety and voice organisations across health and social care.

At Healthwatch Medway we are incredibly proud to have served our community for over a decade. It has been a privilege to champion the voices of people across Medway, ensuring their experiences and insights have helped shape better care. Our dedicated team of volunteers has played a vital role in driving improvements that have impacted thousands of lives.

Healthwatch will continue it’s important work—listening to the public and patients, and using those insights to influence the future of NHS and social care—until changes to the Health and Social Care Act come into effect.

We recognise the significant transformation underway across the health and care system, and the challenges that come with it. As we look ahead, we remain committed to working with partners to explore new ways of ensuring people’s voices continue to be heard. This commitment is a fitting legacy to our 12 years of independently amplifying the voices of Medway residents.
